Asian director “Juelz” over lack of Afro-Latinos featured in “In The Heights” movie.

Do you think Hitler would’ve killed so many Jews if the people didn’t band together under his regime? Let me know when you decide to stop acting obtuse. This isn’t the first time you’ve played dumb on this topic.

Hey dumb ass, most dominicans were terrified of Trujillo you know why? Because most dominicans are brown-black skinned. If they didn't follow orders, family members would be killed. Both my grandfather's had to serve under trujillo so please save the bullshyt

Trujillo isn't celebrated in DR

 

[larsattack]

It’s pathetic, how much these people want to be accepted.

and notice how they always gotta pronounce “Latina” with an accent.

Because that’s literally how it’s pronounced

 

[Lord_nikon]

I didn't watch that shyt, so they didn't get my view. not my interest in cast

 

[Uptown WaYo87]

So they hate the Black Haitians, but love the Black Dominicans?

I get it. It’s like how Americans don’t hate other Americans, because of their skin color. Thanks for clarifying.

My father's family is a mix of brown-white dominicans, my mothers family is brown-black dominicans. Both families raised in the same section of DR. Do you think my dad's family treated my moms family like shyt bc they were black dominicans? Do you think they were given better opportunities in the neighborhood bc they were light skinned? Do you think the white dominicans had WHITE ONLY water fountains in the neighborhood?

You can't answer any of those questions because you don't know shyt. You guys in here all run with this made up narrative

Go to DR and be amongst the people out there, most people are poor they don't give a fukk about skin color

 

[frush11]

Ugh.

Didn’t even watch the video. As soon as I heard her voice I could hear the feminist/Twitter SJW in her.

“as a black woman of Cuban descent…”

That’s as far as I got.


I’m not watching this movie anyway but if you got a problem with the casting, just ignore it. How hard is that?

They kinda actually have a right to be mad. That's literally the opposite off what that area looks like

 

[ExodusNirvana]

You guys are so confused smh

If dominicans were truly racist against people bc of the color of their skin, we wouldve in a civil war in the country for the past 60 years. Most dominicans are brown-black skinned, the beef with Haiti back in the day had nothing to do with the color of their skin. We are on the same island yes buy haiti is basically a foreign country. Different Language, Different Religion, Different Culture. It's tribalism, dominicans don't hate other dominicans because of the color of their skin, only in the coli people really believe that

I didn't understand this when I went down to DR a few years ago myself...stayed near Cofrisi (sp?)

Everyone that lives up in the hills are dark skinned. We went on little excursions and shyt and all the Domincan kids that were running up to us asking for dollars were dark skinned. Everyone in town was chilling together regardless of skin color.

It was a mix everywhere I went on the island.

But I'm not Dominican so I can't really speak on it 100%

Elvin Soto letting yall know lo que es.

"When will enough be enough for you darkies? Not everything is about you! Dios mio!!

You guys had Black Panther, the Cuban National Boxing Team is all black, you got Amara Le Negra, when can some regular looking Latinos get some attention?"

[Formerly Black Trash]

Lot of cacs in this thread
"Fake outrage"
"Just ignore it"

 

[Kiyoshi-Dono]

And these the people some of you game goofy nikkas
Really think they like your black asses when they don’t even like black people of their own respective cultures
If that MESSAGE don’t sink in

I'm good on this movie. Not really into musicals and I get the feeling this is gonna be a gay old time like the Flintstones

 

[BlackBall]

This shytt looks waAAAACk lol

Reminds me of the Japanese are now known for making jazz music despite ADOS creating jazz music. Same goes for funk and RnB today with Kpop.

When in the motherfukk did this happen?

Yall really be saying some shyt on this site boy

 

[Zero]

You'd be surprised. A lot of teenagers nowadays listen to jazz music and say that the japanese make the best music. Whenever you remind them that ADOS created jazz they get mad and say its a lie. Same goes for these weirdos who listen to "lofi hip hop". Lofi hiphop is just smooth jazz from the George Benson area, but these white/Asian kids think that they created something original

Teenage comments on YouTube? Boy if you don't get the fukk

If see acts of discriminationnor racism, call it out. Looking the other way is just cowardly.
